Wooden Urn for Ashes 'Ricordo' natural lime

A quiet place for someone who mattered

Sometimes a simple form says more than an ornate one ever could. The Ricordo is a cremation urn in untreated pine, with no decoration and no finish applied. If you are looking for something honest and unhurried, something that reflects who your loved one was, this urn is worth your attention.

Pine: a material with its own character

Pine is known for its fine grain and the flame-like markings that run through the wood. These patterns form during the growth of the tree, and no two pieces are identical. Every Ricordo is therefore unique. The surface has been left untreated deliberately: no lacquer, no coating, no barrier between you and the wood. When you hold it, the material takes on the temperature of your hand. That quality sets pine apart from stone or metal in a way that is felt immediately.

What this urn carries

Pine has long been associated with both permanence and passing. Properly cared for, it endures across generations. At the same time, it is a natural material that marks time, that changes slowly and honestly. That tension lives in the wood itself. The bond you shared with your loved one finds a fitting and unpretentious home here.

Suitable for ashes with or without an ash bag

The Ricordo is suitable for use with or without an ash bag, giving you the freedom to choose whichever approach feels right for you.

Practical care and what to expect

Because the Ricordo is made from untreated natural pine, it is designed for indoor use only. Moisture, direct sunlight and significant temperature changes can cause the wood to move or discolor over time. Keep the urn in a dry place, away from direct light. Do not treat the surface with oils or cleaning products, as these alter the character of the bare wood. A dry cloth is all that is needed.

Making the space your own

The Ricordo suits a considered display rather than a busy one. A photograph, a personal object, a small stone from somewhere meaningful: the untreated wood asks for very little around it, but it holds its own alongside things that mattered to the person you are remembering. Over time, the place where the urn for ashes rests becomes a place that speaks quietly about a life lived.
